BISHOP SAYS POLITICS, ARMY | CAN'T END WAR

Rt. Rev. G. Ashton Oldham Strikes Keynote of Council Meeting Here.

By EMMA RIVERS MILNER Times Church Editor Hope for world peace lives on despite a broken and shipwrecked civilization, Thus the Rt. Rev. G. Ashton Oldham, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Albany, struck the keynote of the meeting of the American Council of the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the churches which opens here today. Bishop Oldham is president of the American council.

United Nations will go the way of the League of Nations.”

Practical Road to Peace Practical ways in which Americans help to cultivate the spirit of which Bishop Oldham spoke were indicated by Clark M.

Peace thinkers and workers speaking In Indianapolis today and tomorrow include (left to right): Dr. Daniel A. Poling of Philadelphia, editor of the Christian Herald; Dr. William P.

of the world for the United States to insist that the trusteeship of the United Nations council, provided for in the United Nations' charter, be set up immediately; and that we turn over to it all the island and other territories we now hold as ‘a result of the war,

: Terrorism Deplored

“Such bases as we need for our own security should be held by us under this trusteeship system and not held and administered by ourselves for ourselves alone.”

Dr. Atkinson urges also that we make democracy work at home so as to have a strong voice in the council of the nations seeking to | establish democracy elsewhere. For example, he cited as shamefully undemocratic the terrorism which prevents Negroes from voting such as perpetrated by the ku-klux klan in night raids and the burning of the cross, symbol of love and understanding, in bonfifes exalting hatred land intolerance.

MIt will continue to be a national program insofar as the secretary of state and I are concerned,” he said. ‘“I firmly believe that our Republican colleagues who have worked intelligently and co-opera-‘tively with us in the past will do so in the future.” After reading his statement, Mr. Truman denied numerous resignation rumors {involving prominent members of the executive branch. He said he knew of no resigna-

Denies Eisenhower Quitting He rejected as without foundation a rumor that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower would quit as army chief of staff bécause of 'differences with the administration over the size of the war department appropriations.

Asked whether he planned now to call a special session of congress, the President said he had no present plans to do so, Furthermore he said he saw no reason for calling such a session. At the outset of his written

statement, Mr, Truman said he would not be frank if he failed to admit that the present situation threatened serious difficulties. Calling on both parties to help this nation forward without regard to political considerations, the President said “the stake is large— our great internal strength and our eminent position in the world are not, as some may easily assume, indestructible.”

He admitted, too, that issues be-|

tween the President and the congress would be inevitable.

OPA 'Burial' Seen This Week; Only Three Controls to Remain

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 (U. P). —President Truman is expected to give OPA a formal burial this week, An order liquidating the agency and shifting remaining controls on rent, sugar and rice to some other government office gre forthcoming. He may choose the office of reconversion or he may set up some new agency to administer the remnants of the war-born rationing and price controls which flourished on the American scene for more than four and a half years. Government officials expected still other wartime curbs to be abolished on the heels of Mr, Truman's week-end order. The order wiped out all wage controls and all price ceilings except those on rents, sugar and rice, Other Decontrol Forecast They forecast abolition of the ban on two-pants suits and vests; removal of the 30-day restriction on charge accounts and relaxation of instalment buying restrictions; repeal of controls on textile production; and abolition of priority controls on installation of telephones.

The President's decontrol order was received generally with enthuiasm, But there were some dire undertones from labor ‘spokesmen. A C. I. O. official said it meant “accelerated inflation and will bring the crash that much sooner.”

Robert R. Wason, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, said prices should fall after

a short period of readjustment—

barring a new round of wage. dé= mands. He warned, however, thas prices will not return to prewar levels. : Expect Porter to Resign : OPA Chief Paul Porter's resig« nation was expected shortly. There was some belief he would be re= appointed to the federal communi« cations: commission. Some 320,000 OPA employees also are due to re= ceive dismissal notices soon, leaving 13,000 to administer the remaining controls. OPA was always the subject of heated controversy, This was probe ably because no other government department ever touched the lives of Americans so closely. The agency was created by em« ecutive order of the late President Roosevelt April 11, 1941, It was made “to develop a program of price control which "would be in harmony with the traditions of the country and capable of meeting the economic strains and pressures which had made such control nec essary.” It was set up as an ine dependent agency by congress early in 1942.
